Chapter 6: Remote Isle
Complete walkthrough for all 6 habitats on the Remote Isle — every Smiley Flower, discovery, and Golden Bug location. This is the final main-game chapter.
Goonie Habitat
Seagulls with short round bodies and long wings. They can fly upward and carry Yoshi on top of their heads.
🌸 3 Smiley Flowers 1 Inspect the round seagull creature on the island shore with the Magnifying Glass.
2 Jump onto a Goonie's head (A) — it carries Yoshi upward while flying. Steer left and right with the Left Stick.
3 Ride the Goonie up to Smiley Flower 1 on the high cliff ledge.
4 Find the second Goonie flying over the water. Jump onto it and ride it across the sea to the next island.
5 Smiley Flower 2 is on the next island.
6 Find the Golden Bug on the tall sea stack. Ride a Goonie up to the top of the stack.
7 Go to the far right where a flock of Goonies is circling. Jump from one to the next to climb higher.
8 Smiley Flower 3 is at the top of the Goonie flock's flight path.
9 Find the lead Goonie at the very top. Ride it as it soars over the entire island — this is the Big Discovery. Jump into the sparkly spot to finish.
Huffin Puffin Habitat
A puffin-like creature that guides its hatchlings around when present. The hatchlings follow wherever the parent goes.
🌸 3 Smiley Flowers 1 Inspect the puffin creature near its nest with the Magnifying Glass.
2 Tail Flick to carry the Huffin Puffin. Its hatchlings immediately start following Yoshi.
3 Lead the hatchlings right — they waddle behind in a line. Guide them to the flower patch for a discovery.
4 Lead the hatchlings up the rocky path. Smiley Flower 1 is at the top — the hatchlings trigger it when they arrive.
5 Go right to the water's edge. Lead the hatchlings to the water — they swim across. Smiley Flower 2 is on the island they swim to.
6 Find the Golden Bug on the cliff above the nest. Flutter Jump from the nest platform to reach it.
7 Go to the far right where a maze of paths leads to a hidden area. Lead all hatchlings through the maze without losing any.
8 Smiley Flower 3 is in the hidden area at the maze's end.
9 Lead all hatchlings back to the nest safely — this is the Big Discovery. Jump into the sparkly spot to finish.
Jetty Jelly Habitat
A jellyfish that rides on Yoshi's back and enables flight by expelling jetstreams. Food changes the intensity and direction of the jets.
🌸 4 Smiley Flowers 1 Inspect the jellyfish creature floating near the shore with the Magnifying Glass.
2 Tail Flick to carry the Jetty Jelly. Press A to activate its jets — Yoshi flies upward briefly.
3 Fly up to Smiley Flower 1 on the high platform above the starting area.
4 Find the hot pepper nearby. Carry the Jetty Jelly and eat the pepper — the jets become much more powerful. Fly far right.
5 Smiley Flower 2 is on the distant platform only reachable with the pepper-boosted jets.
6 Find the cold fruit (blue berry). Eat it while carrying the Jetty Jelly — the jets reverse direction, pushing Yoshi downward fast.
7 Use the downward jets to dive into the underwater cave. Smiley Flower 3 is inside.
8 Find the Golden Bug on the floating island. Use normal jets to fly up to it.
9 Go to the far right where a series of rings is set up in the air. Fly through all the rings using the Jetty Jelly.
10 Smiley Flower 4 is at the end of the ring course.
11 Fly through all rings without missing any — this is the Big Discovery. Jump into the sparkly spot to finish.
Lunge Fish Habitat
A large fish that carries Yoshi in its mouth to explore underwater areas. It can also spit Yoshi out to cover a short distance.
🌸 3 Smiley Flowers 1 Inspect the large fish lurking near the water's edge with the Magnifying Glass.
2 Jump into the water near the Lunge Fish — it opens its mouth and Yoshi swims in. Yoshi can now breathe and explore underwater.
3 Swim right inside the Lunge Fish. Smiley Flower 1 is in the first underwater cave.
4 Press ZR to have the Lunge Fish spit Yoshi out — he launches forward like a torpedo. Aim at the cracked underwater wall.
5 The wall breaks. Smiley Flower 2 is in the chamber beyond.
6 Find the Golden Bug on the seafloor in the deep trench. Swim down into the trench inside the Lunge Fish.
7 Go to the far right where a strong current blocks the path. Use the Lunge Fish's spit to launch through the current.
8 Smiley Flower 3 is past the current.
9 Find the giant Lunge Fish in the deepest part of the sea. Swim inside it — it carries Yoshi all the way to the surface and leaps into the air. This is the Big Discovery. Jump into the sparkly spot to finish.
Jam Guy Habitat
A musical creature that performs when interacted with on-beat. Hit the right rhythm to unlock its full performance.
🌸 3 Smiley Flowers 1 Inspect the musical creature near the island stage with the Magnifying Glass.
2 Walk near the Jam Guy — it starts playing a beat. Press B (Gobble) on the beat to interact with it rhythmically.
3 Hit three beats in a row correctly — the Jam Guy plays a short melody. Smiley Flower 1 appears.
4 Find the second Jam Guy with a faster tempo. Match its rhythm — hit five beats correctly. Smiley Flower 2 appears.
5 Find the Golden Bug on the stage platform. Flutter Jump from the audience area to reach the stage.
6 Go to the far right where three Jam Guys are playing together. Match all three rhythms simultaneously.
7 Smiley Flower 3 appears when you successfully match all three at once.
8 Find the lead Jam Guy at the center stage. It plays a complex rhythm — match it perfectly for the full performance. This is the Big Discovery. Jump into the sparkly spot to finish.
Bewilder Bird Habitat
A mysterious bird with the uncanny ability to transform into any creature in your encyclopedia. The final creature of the main game.
🌸 4 Smiley Flowers 1 Inspect the strange bird creature at the center of the Remote Isle with the Magnifying Glass.

3 It transforms again into a Bunchabee. Use Egg Tosses on it as you would bees. Smiley Flower 1 appears.
4 It transforms into a Scatterpuff. Spread its puffs on the nearby boulder to break it. Smiley Flower 2 is behind the boulder.

6 It transforms into a Hauger. Carry it and use the super jump to reach Smiley Flower 3 on the very high platform.
7 It transforms into a Jetty Jelly. Use its jets to fly to Smiley Flower 4 on the floating island.
8 The Bewilder Bird reveals its true form — it transforms into every creature in your encyclopedia in sequence.
